NEBRASKA — A Hall County jury on Thursday found Jacy C. Todd, 55, of York, guilty of 23 counts of official misconduct and one count of false statement under oath in a case tied to Nebraska’s medical marijuana ballot petition effort.
Judge Alfred Corey presided over a two-and-a-half-day jury trial this week in Hall County Court. The jury returned its verdicts Thursday afternoon.
In September 2024, Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers and Hall County Attorney Marty Klein announced a criminal investigation into the medical marijuana petitions. Todd was officially charged with multiple counts in October 2024.
“The jury was asked to address the duties of public servants under the statutes,” according to information released after the verdict.
Attorney General Hilgers praised the verdict in a statement, saying, “We are very grateful to the jury for their careful consideration of this case. Election integrity is the bedrock of our democracy. The evidence at trial reflected a systematic scheme in which the law was routinely violated. As we have said all along, the medical marijuana petition campaign was built on fraud and malfeasance and ultimately should never have been on the ballot in the first place.”
Sentencing is scheduled for April 22, 2026, at 9 a.m.
